Flowers are placed on the road as an attribute to the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele in the Leilani Estates subdivision near Pahoa, Hawaii, May 19, 2018. While Hawaii Island features two massive volcanoes, with the highest, Mauna Kea, reaching nearly 14,000 feet above sea level and sometimes capped with snow, Kilauea is far less prominent. But because it's been active since 1983, the volcano's fiery flow of lava into the sea has been a popular cruise destination for photographers and tourists.

Lava illuminates volcanic gases from the Kilauea volcano at fissure 13 on Hawaii's Big Island, May 16, 2018, in Pahoa, Hawaii. The U.S. Geological Survey said a recent lowering of the lava lake at the volcano's Halemaumau crater 'has raised the potential for explosive eruptions' at the volcano.

An aerial view shows smoke rising from the Pu'u 'O'o crater on Hawaii's Big Island, May 16, 2017, where the crater's floor collapsed about two weeks ago, covering just about the entire upper flow field with a layer of red ashes and leaving a bottomless pit with no visible lava (issued May 17, 2018). Magma that occupied large underground storage chambers likely headed down the east rift zone to an increasing number of fissure eruptions.
